DUSKRUIN: At the new Preening Plover shop for Duskruin, a fancy new smithing apron will be introduced for the first time. Not only does it show off that admirable physique from all the hours over a forge, but the unlocks are going to make you read this twice. Tier 2: Although it makes the apron account bound, your forging glyphs inside will become “nearly weightless.” And at Tier 3? Gold glyphs become unlimited use.

The Preening Plover will be selling fancy new aprons that let you show off the physique you finely honed by spending hours slaving over a hot forge. (Or not. I won’t tell.)

Tier 1 has 4 fluff verbs.

At Tier 2, the apron will attune itself to your account permanently, but will allow you to ADD forging glyphs to it that become nearly weightless.

At Tier 3, any gold glyphs added will also become unlimited use.

A peek at a couple of the verbs:

PULL MY APRON AT TIVVY
You reach down and tighten the gold-piped canvas of your canvas forging apron. Since you’re already down there, with an impish quirk of an eyebrow, you clench your fists and push them together, flexing your biceps alternately at Tivvy to show off the benefits of your time laboring over a hot anvil.

BRUSH MY APRON
Flattening your palms against your sides, you brush them down the length of your torso, sinuously rocking your shoulders and swaying your hips.

BRUSH MY APRON [with a weapon you forged in your right hand]
Sweeping your hands down the length of your torso, you snap your right arm perpendicular to your body, brandishing your creation, an elegant steel handaxe, for a few long moments to allow Tivvy to admire its style and artisanship.

LOOK MY APRON
A diamond-shaped golvern glyph ring is nestled in the gold-piped canvas front pocket of the apron. Expertly sewn into the hem of the apron’s bib, a black tag bears the name “Tivvy” embroidered in gleaming mithril thread.

ANALYZE MY APRON
You analyze your canvas forging apron and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This is a Smooth Smith’s Apron. It is currently Tier: 1.

This canvas forging apron is attuned to no one.

It may be freely altered with a long and a show, but the noun must remain apron. The material should remain a heavy, durable leather or canvas, but can be customized a bit (ex: grommeted leather, thick ecru canvas). The waist fastener can also be customized (ex: braided ribbon ties, a brass-buckled belt, stained hemp strings) but must end with the noun.

This canvas forging apron is currently set to:
Material: gold-piped canvas
Waist Fastener: grommeted cheveril belt
Glyph Ring Adjectives: diamond-shaped golvern

Verbs: BRUSH, CLENCH, LOOK, PULL, RUB
